Countries across the globe have mobilized their armed forces in response to the COVID‐19 pandemic. Current contributions of armed forces have resulted from an urgent need for additional personnel and resources, and were facilitated by a framing of the crisis in terms of war. These deployments were in the interest of armed forces and enabled them to improve their operational readiness, boost their societal standing and support societies with their expertise. Even though armed forces may provide crucial aid in times of need, it is important that civilian crisis organizations are not undermined, civilian control and civil rights are guaranteed, and the effects on other military operations are considered and discussed. This Forum contribution offers some reflections and recommendations.

军事危机对COVID-19的反应

为了应对COVID-19大流行，全球各国动员了武装力量。武装部队目前的贡献是由于迫切需要更多的人员和资源，并且由于战争方面的危机框架而得到了促进。这些部署符合武装部队的利益，使他们能够改善作战准备，提高其社会地位并以其专业知识来支持社会。即使武装部队可以在需要时提供关键援助，但重要的是不要破坏民间危机组织，确保平民控制权和公民权利，并考虑和讨论对其他军事行动的影响。该论坛的贡献提供了一些思考和建议。
